History About the Green Book

The Green Book was a travel guide intended to help African American who were visiting an unfamiliar place avoid social obstacles prevalent during the period of racial segregation, commonly referred to as Jim Crow. The Green Book listed businesses that would accept African American customers. It was published by Victor H. Green.

Victor H. Green, a 44-year-old black postal carrier in Harlem, relied on his own experiences and on recommendations from black members of his postal service union for the inaugural guide bearing his name, The Negro Motorist Green-Book, in 1937. The 15-page directory covered Green's home turf, the New York metropolitan area, listing establishments that welcomed blacks. The power of the guide, says Ramsey, also the author of a children's book and a play focused on Green-Book history, was that it "created a safety net. If a person could travel by car--and those who could, did--they would feel more in control of their destiny. The Green-Book was what they needed."
